Project Audits

Our project audit collects all of the lessons learned from my personal management of 12 D365/AX projects and incorporates them into a targeted audit process. This audit process results in a new project budget, resource plan and timeline. 


Portions of the audit process are used to prepare future clients new D365 F&O and CE projects for easier and successful deployments.

Project Audits in 5 Steps


When to Request an Audit

A D365 F&O audit is ideal when:

  • The program feels “off,” but the root cause isn’t clear
  • Delivery velocity is slowing
  • Integrations or data workstreams are struggling
  • Stakeholders are losing confidence
  • The SI is missing commitments
  • Go‑live readiness is uncertain
  • You need an independent, senior‑level perspective

 


D365 F&O Project Audit

A Proven, Executive‑Level Diagnostic for Troubled or At‑Risk Programs

A D365 F&O implementation doesn’t fail because of one issue — it fails because multiple parts of the program quietly drift out of alignment. My audit process is designed to surface those issues quickly, clearly, and with actionable recommendations that protect business outcomes, not just project timelines.

With 25+ years leading enterprise ERP programs — including 11 full‑lifecycle D365 deployments and multiple high‑stakes rescues — I use a structured, five‑part audit framework that reveals exactly where a program is healthy, where it’s vulnerable, and what must change to get it back on track.


1. Governance, Decision Rights & Delivery Structure

Every successful ERP program begins with strong governance. I assess whether the project is set up to succeed by evaluating:

  • Steering committee effectiveness
  • Decision‑making speed and clarity
  • Escalation pathways
  • PMO structure and accountability
  • Vendor/client role clarity
  • Whether scope, timeline, and budget are actively managed or passively reported

This step reveals whether the program is structurally capable of delivering the intended business outcomes.


2. Solution Architecture, Design Quality & Technical Debt

A D365 program can only move as fast as its architecture allows. I review:

  • Solution blueprint completeness
  • Fit‑to‑standard adherence
  • Customization volume and quality
  • Integration architecture (sync/async, error handling, retry logic)
  • Data model alignment with D365 patterns
  • ISV footprint and stability
  • ALM, DevOps pipelines, and release management

This identifies whether the system is buildable, scalable, and supportable — or whether technical debt is quietly undermining delivery.


3. Functional Workstreams & Business Process Alignment

Technology only succeeds when it aligns with how the business actually operates. I evaluate:

  • Process alignment with D365 standard functionality
  • Requirements quality, completeness, and traceability
  • Gap validity (real gaps vs invented gaps)
  • Workstream health and velocity
  • Testing readiness and coverage
  • Business engagement vs disengagement

This step shows whether the solution is solving the right problems — and whether the business is positioned to adopt it.


4. Data, Integrations & Reporting Readiness

Most go‑live failures originate here. I assess:

  • Data migration strategy, mapping, cleansing, and cutover readiness
  • Integration stability, throughput, and monitoring
  • Reporting strategy (Power BI, Data Lake, Synapse, F&O entities)
  • Whether the data model supports operational and analytical reporting needs

This determines whether the system can run the business on Day 1.


5. Organizational Change, Training & Adoption Readiness

Technology fails when people aren’t ready. As a Prosci‑certified change leader, I evaluate:

  • Stakeholder alignment and engagement
  • Super user readiness
  • Training quality and timing
  • Communications effectiveness
  • Role mapping and security
  • Cutover readiness
  • Post‑go‑live support model

This step reveals whether the organization can successfully adopt the system — the #1 predictor of ERP success.


Deliverables You Receive

Every audit includes:

  • A clear, executive‑level assessment of program health
  • A prioritized list of risks, gaps, and structural issues
  • Recommended mitigation strategies and alternative paths
  • A roadmap to stabilize delivery and protect business outcomes
  • Optional ongoing advisory support to guide remediation
